While we do currently offer several styles and colors of hearing devices, our audiologist will choose the style of hearing aid best matched to address your personal hearing needs.

Use the Phone With Confidence

Do you or someone you know have trouble hearing on the telephone? With CaptionCall you can understand every word of every phone call. Its large, easy-to-read screen quickly displays written captions of what your callers say. That means you can more from your conversations-and from life.

How CaptionCall Works

CaptionCall is similar to caption television, but only available to people with hearing loss. It uses cutting-edge technology to display written, nearly instant captions. Here’s how it works:

1. The CaptionCall user hears the caller’s voice over a standard phone line.

2. The CaptionCall phone sends the caller’s voice to the CaptionCall service via an internet connection

4. Captions are sent back to the CaptionCall phone display screen.

We use the results of your hearing evaluations, as well as the information you’ve provided regarding your unique listening challenges, lifestyle and communication needs, and budget restraints to find the right hearing aid style and technology for you.

While we do currently offer several styles and colors of hearing devices, our audiologist will choose the style of hearing aid best matched to address your personal hearing needs.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE):

BTE devices provide stronger amplification than smaller devices and are appropriate for more severe cases of hearing loss. The instruments are attached to a custom-made earmold, which then channels sound into the ear canal. There are a variety of color options available to match skin or hair color.

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC):

CICs are the smallest type of hearing device available. The components of these instruments are housed within a small case that fits far into the ear canal. These aids are custom-made for each ear, but CICs aren’t for everyone. CICs are ideal for those with large enough ear canals to accommodate the instruments. Because of their size, they require good manual dexterity for care and battery replacements. CICs are not recommended for people with severe hearing loss.

Full shell In-the-Ear (ITE):

The full shell ITEs can help with a wide range of hearing losses. Their larger size allows them to provide more sound amplification and features such as a manual or automatic telephone switch. Their size also makes them easier to handle and maintain.

Receiver-in-the-Ear (RITE):

RITE instruments combine the cosmetic appeal of ITEs with the amplification of BTEs, making them ideal for enhancing speech without bringing attention to themselves. These devices also allow the ear canal to remain open, which helps avoid any “plugged up” sensation.

Half shell In-the-Ear (ITE):

The half shell style has the room to offer all of the features provided with the full shell instruments, but in a smaller package. They can be used to treat a wide range of hearing losses.

In-the-Canal (ITC):

Although they’re slightly bigger, ITC aids fit far into the ear canal like CICs. They can be used for mild to moderate hearing losses.
